The Goldbergs True Story vs TV Show is on Fandom 38.
If you've watched The Goldbergs TV show, you may have seen a lot of Philadelphia gear.The real Goldbergs lived in Jenkintown, Pennsylvania, a suburb about ten miles north of downtown Philadelphia.Barry wears a Jenkintown t-shirt during the episode "Kara-te".The real Goldberg family includes Adam, Barry, Eric, Murray and Beverly.Eric, Adam's oldest brother, was changed to a character on the show.
At the beginning of nearly every episode of The Goldbergs, the TV show's narrator reminds us that the current episode takes place in "1980-something."The film Poltergeist was released in 1982, at the same time the brother, Barry (Troy Gentile), is excited about the Reebok Pump, which was invented in the late 80's, according to an interview with the real Adam Goldberg.If the show was set in a specific year, like 1985 for example, the creators would have to wait up to five years to include references to that year.Adam Goldberg says he should be lucky to be on the show for five years.I only have twelve episodes for now.Most of us don't remember the exact year when we recall our memories of the 1980s.When did I win the Legend of Zelda?I don't remember the year.I only remember it being in the late 80's....We decided to set it in 1980.It was so freeing to have an undependable narrator.We have the ability to do anything.It's like a melting pot from the 80s.It's how you remember it.
Yes.Some post-eighties elements have been included in the show's story lines.The real Goldberg admits that he has slipped up a few times.Near the end of the premiere episode, "The Circle of Driving," non-1980s cars can be seen in the background as Murray sings a song.The term "re-gift" wasn't used until after the 1980s.
